10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 6

Week 6 of the fantasy football season offers plenty of sleepers at the running back position. From backups to fill-ins, here are a few quality sleepers. 

The running back position is arguably the most important position in fantasy football. With so much disparity between the top guys and bench stashes, finding a sleeper running back that can give you starter production is crucial in finding week-to-week success. There are a few interesting sleeper options in Week 6. Let’s get into it.

10 RB sleepers for fantasy football Week 6

10. Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Bucanneers

After being decisively out-snapped by Leonard Fournette in Weeks 1-3, Rachaad White has narrowed the gap significantly. In the last two weeks, he’s played 24 and 31 snaps compared to Fournette’s 39 and 49, respectively. He’s been primarily used as a pass-catching specialist.

With White’s increased usage and Tampa Bay surprisingly finding themselves in competitive games almost weekly, he should be counted on when the team needs pass catching out of the backfield. He has 16 touches over the past two weeks, meaning he should be an intriguing PPR play.

9. DeeJay Dallas, Seattle Seahawks

With the season-ending injury to Rashaad Penny, the Seahawks backfield will likely be led by Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas on passing downs and change-of-pace work. While Walker will likely be the lead back, Dallas should have plenty of play in passing downs.

Seattle has been adamant on using multiple backs to power their rushing attack, meaning both Walker and Dallas will likely be used. Walker is the preferred play, but Dallas may be worth a dart throw in DFS lineups since he’s super affordable.
